The Stiles Thomas Slide Show

The following is a pdf of the slide show, which features Stiles throughout, a Stiles yodeling video (click on the image on the third slide), Stiles reading his classic bird-watching poem, and cameos of many of the Allendalers and Fykers who knew him.

Thank you for all of these posts!
Thanks also to everyone involved in putting together the memorial held at the Celery Farm, and the celebration of Stiles life held at the Fell House. It gave us a way to honor this great man.
